541327
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE APPLIANCE
• Positions towards the thicker end of the
marking mean a lower temperature in
the appliance (cooler). Settings towards
the thinner end of the marking mean a
higher temperature (warmer).
• A change in the environment temperature
will aect the temperature in the appliance.
Adjust the thermostat knob setting
accordingly.
• Recommended setting for the thermostat
knob A is half way between the thinner
and the thicker end of the sign.

the appliance for the first time, before
cleaning, or before inserting a large
amount of food.
• To activate the freezer boost setting,
rotate the Aknob to position (signal
light Bwill light up).
• After the end of the freezing process,
rotate the Aknob back to the desired
setting, even if the signal light Bis not
on (this means that a suciently low
temperature has been reached.
• If the function is not deactivated manually,
it will be deactivated automatically after
approximately two days. Freezer compartment
temperature will return to the most recent
setting (knob position will remain at ).

15
541327
If the temperature in the appliance is too
high, an alarm will be engaged (signal light
Dwill flash).
When the temperature in the refrigerator
drops to a level that no longer poses food
spoilage hazard, the light will switch off
automatically.
When the appliance is switched on for
the first time, there is a 24-hour delay
in temperature alarm operation since
the appliance will not have reached the
adequate temperature. Thus, unnecessary
activation of alarm is prevented.
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM

16
FREEZING AND STORING
FROZEN FOOD
541327
Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is
specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to
be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing
will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen
will deteriorate.
• 24 hours before freezing, rotate the thermostat knob to position . After 24 hours of
super freeze operation, insert the fresh food onto the freezing compartment.
Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.
• To freeze smaller amounts of food (up to 1 kg), adjusting the thermostat knob setting is
not necessary (observe the instructions in the section ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
IN THE APPLIANCE).
• After 24 hours, the food can be moved to other parts of the freezer and the freezing
process can be repeated as required:
−rotate the Abutton back to the middle position and than after 5 seconds to the
position (signal light Bwill light up).
• After the end of the freezing process, rotate the Adial back to the desired setting, even
if the Bsignal light is not on (this means that suciently low temperature has already
been reached).
FREEZING PROCESS

541327
STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN
FOOD
• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of
-18°C or lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted
several times and that they are of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,
storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer.
Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.
Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.
Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be
airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins.
Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of
freezing.
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
Therefore, keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before
freezing.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING
FRESH FOOD
AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in
the compartments of the appliance.
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch o, defrost, clean, dry,
and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

541327
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME
Recommended storage time in the freezer
Type of food Time
fruit, beef from 10 to 12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
Venison from 6 to 8 months
Pork from 4 to 6 months
minced meat 4 months
bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean 3 months
entrails 2 months
smoked sausage, fatty fish 1 month
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD
Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed,
bacteria is re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely
defrosted food as soon as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and
ready-to-eat food.

19
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE

food (see section »Freezing Process«).
After this period, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from defrosting.
• Switch o the appliance (see chapter Switching the appliance on/o) and unplug the
power cord.
• Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
• Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may
damage a pipe of the cooling system.
• To speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of hot water on the glass shelf.
• Clean and dry the appliance interior (see Cleaning the Appliance).
• It is also advisable to empty the condensate tray on the bottom of the appliance.
